As developers, we solve problems, we handle challenges almost every day. Some developers take their technology, tools, infrastructures and frameworks for granted - they "magically" work. They think that by simply using them, they are considered experts. The truth is that they are "expert beginners". However, there are developers who constantly keep learning, dig deeper and understand why things work the way they do. They are on the path to become experts. They are "Active Learners". In this session, we will learn how to become Active Learners and how to avoid the "Expert Beginner" trap.

Today's news cycle can be measured in minutes, and with everyone a pundit and armchair critic, these cycles are aggregated as information goes viral. Here are ten things to keep in mind for companies and organizations that face a crisis on the web.
The "good news" is that everyone is born creative.
And, even if it's been a while since you've done anything creative, that potential NEVER goes away. It can be awakened at any point in your life.
The challenge is getting past the various obstacles to creativity.
You'll learn how to recognize 10 barriers to creativity.
And you'll learn how to "get past" what holds you back when faced with challenges that require our innovation.
Unleash the Creative YOU!
This is from my invited talk at AAPT.
Why leave it up to the “experts” (i.e., the media) to portray physics accurately and positively? Speak for yourself, without the need for a translator who may – or may not – get it right. As a scientist, you can talk about what your work means and why it’s important with an authority that a science writer doesn’t bring to the table. While we can’t all be Brian Greene, you can have control over how your work – and physics in general – is presented to the public. In this talk, I’ll share some best practices of science communication – gleaned during my time as a science reporter at NPR and elsewhere. These simple tips can take a lifetime to master, but can help you get your message across – to the public, the media, and even Aunt Mabel.

The power of the story: Using patient testimonials and stories to drive marke...Modern Healthcare
Nothing drives a message home like a well-told story. And an increasing number of healthcare organizations are making patient testimonials a central part of their marketing strategy, harnessing the power of a compelling story to build loyalty, highlight compelling cases and showcase their best work. In this session, experts will share best practices—and common pitfalls—to keep in mind when using patient testimonials.
We all love a story; it’s part of what we are as human beings. In fact it’s been said that the original learning technologies were the story and the conversation. But how can we use this natural way of learning for organisational learning? This presentation was part of the Learning and Skills Group webinar series where, Dr. Maureen Murphy, Managing Director at Aurion Learning and and Pat Kenny, eLearning Manager at HSE explored the practical side of developing and using stories for learning.

Delivering Science: Effective Communications Skills to Become a Successful Sc...Monica Feliu-Mojer, Ph.D.
Effective communication skills are essential to scientists being successful. Scientists give talks, write papers and proposals; they must communicate with peers, students, policy makers, and the general public. This session discussed strategies and resources to help scientists become better communicators and how effective communication skills can support professional advancement. Presented at the 2015 SACNAS National Conference by Dr. Mónica I. Feliú-Mójer, Dr. Amy Vashlishan-Murray and Ms. Liz Neeley.
Social media platforms have revolutionized the way we communicate and connect with each other. When employed effectively, they can be an invaluable tool for professional development, networking and personal branding for scientists. For underrepresented minority scientists, social media can also increase their visibility and draw attention to the disparities faced by their communities. This presentation offered advice and practical strategies on the effective use of social media platforms, particularly Twitter, to create a professional online presence, for personal branding and career advancement. This session was offered at the 2015 SACNAS National Conference by Dr. Mónica I. Feliú-Mójer, Dr. Yaihara Fortis-Santiago and Ms. Liz Neeley.
NETWORKED: Creating an Online Presence for Professional Development & Empower...Monica Feliu-Mojer, Ph.D.
Professional development talk offered at the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, March 29, 2015.
Presentation at #scioCONVERGE session (Feb. 27, 2014) at the Science Online Together 2014 conference. I talked about Ciencia Puerto Rico (@CienciaPR) as a model make science and scientists accesible and relavant to underserved and underrepresented communities.
Ciencia Puerto Rico is a non-profit organization and an online community that uses social networking technologies to bring together the geographically dispersed members of the Puerto Rican scientific community to transform the way scientists get involved in science communication and education. Our efforts focus in three areas: public understanding of science, supporting the professional development of young scientists and K-12 education.
In this talk I highlight CienciaPR's science communication efforts and our tri-partite strategy to make science relevant to Spanish speakers (a normally underserved audience): contextualize the story to the audience's local environment; use the audience's every day language (including vocabulary) and have the story be told by someone with whom the audience can identify (someone who looks like them, shares background).

Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

Thank you, it is a great pleasure for me to be here today.
I would like to especially thank Melissa Varga and the Union of Concerned Scientists for inviting me to be part of this webinar.
Before we start here’s where you can find me, CienciaPR and iBiology on Twitter
Today I will talk about storytelling and how you can use it as a tool to make meaningful connections and make science more inclusive
Our brains love stories.
Stories and storytelling are inherent to the human experience. They help people connect with the message being delivered.
Storytelling provides scientists with a powerful way to help people make personal, meaningful connections with science.
It helps people go beyond the data, into the…
So what of your science.
Storytelling can help you convey why your work, your research, your science matters.
Because stories help people relate, connect to your science, storytelling can help you empower and not alienate underserved communities. It is important that we remember that there are many communities, like African Americans, Latinos and Native Americans, for example, that have been disenfranchised by science. That have been historically excluded and even abused by science.
Storytelling offers opportunities for meaningful dialogue and empowerment. Storytelling can empower communities to take ownership of science.
Of course it is incredibly important that before coming in to work or interact in any way with an underserved community that you do your homework. That you get to know them, their history, their social justice issues so that you can use storytelling as a tool for partnership and storytelling. You can check out last week’s webinar workshop on Social Justice and Partnerships with Communities, which has some really great advice. It was posted online this morning.
Because storytelling is about your audience, because it can help you engage and empower them, storytelling can be a powerful tool to make science more inclusive.
Something than can be easy to forget is that the perceptions of the value of science are not universal across communities.
Storytelling is a powerful way to establish meaningful connections to help counter that marginalization. It can help you empower underserved communities and individuals to be equal partners and participants in science.
So if you want to get started with storytelling to communicate your science, what are some things you should think about.
First and foremost know your audience: who are they?
Know your goal: what is the purpose of your message? What do you want to accomplish?
Know yourself: each person has a slightly different style. Know what works for you and what doesn’t.
Structure your story in a way that engages and interests your audience. Every presentation should have a hook, meat and payoff.
Connect your story to real life. Why should people care? In other words, what is the so what of what you are communicating?
Be careful of making assumptions about the reality of your audience, about what they know or don’t know
Remember, people have diverse experiences and perspectives, there is more than one way to see and value science
Listen: this relates to knowing your audience. Who are they? What do they want? What can they offer?
Think about ways to help people remember your so what: how can you use storytelling to make your message resonate?
Practice: storytelling is a skill and you have to practice. Practicing will help you know yourself, figure out what works, what doesn’t, it will help you get better
Storytelling powerful way to interact, engage, build trust with communities traditionally not represented in science and thus an important tool in your science communication toolbox
